Seat lever extension

got to agree, 80 bucks seems a bit high, although they are DDMWorks and billet aluminum - - I recently put a quick release on my slingshot steering wheel and I was looking at the turn signal extender sling mods sells and its $50 for a piece of sheet metal - - I will learn to reach it where it is

Your are correct I believe I too recall someone posting a DIY solution they came up with - - hopefully someone will find it for you

One friend drilled a small hole and inserted a cord and attached the cord to the side panel. TWO-CENTS.gif

I used some grey plastic electrical conduit that force-fit over the seat-release handle. I left mine grey, but a little paint will cvore the plastic tube along with the printed info on the conduit. Here'e the thread - Seat Tilt handle Extensions

I did what BKL did but with PVC plumbing pipe. I painted mine then added a rubber end cap meant for outdoor furniture.

Works great

Now SoCal got to MANNNNY ideas to think about. Please don't hurt any important parts "Thinking".

Thanks EJ I did see that post. This is going to be one of those things that I will spend an inordinate amount of time fiddling with but then again that’s what I enjoy doing. Keep you posted😎

I have a hardware store in town that is to me a candy store and I will be looking for a spline tomorrow and see what I can come up with

I found a hardware store like that right around the time COVID hit, it was a new ACE in Cathedral City that had the best and most varied selection of hardware, nuts bolts and misc other fasteners all in an amazing variety of sizes - - used to spend a ton of time just browsing through the drawers thinking of great ideas - unfortunately the place closed up about a year ago just couldn't make it I guess - - - still bums me out when I think about it

SoCal Check the DDMWORKS website. I am pretty sure they have what you are looking for.

I just get tired of paying the ACE prices. So now unless I need it today I order off of Amazon. Now I have just about everything. Nuts - Bolt - Screws - Washers

When I need a specific metric not or bolt or hope to find it in stainless steel, I usually try Ace first.

I get it - - I to am an Amazon user for 99% of these things, but sometimes when I needed ideas or just a single bolt being able to walk in and browse through the drawers was a great option that I miss - - I have a Home Depot and a Lowes both of which are closed than that ACE was, but neither one comes close to the selection that Ace had. Heck there were things that I found there that gave me some great ways to get a project to a better end that I never even would have though of if I hadn't pulled a drawer open and seen them.

Plus this particular ACE was always very quiet - like I had the isles all to myself - - - probably another reason why they are gone

exactly - the ACE that's now gone hade the biggest selection of metric stainless fasteners I have ever found in a store

I made a metal bracket that attaches to the side with the factory screw and have a piece of webbing screwed to the handle and looped thru the bracket. I grab the loop and pull and release the seat. The loop is just below the painted section on side arms next to back of the seat. If I think of it I will take some pictures tomorrow

We have several Aces nearby, but I sometimes go to one about 13 miles away because they have a section devoted to Women's accessories and my Wife gets to browse while I look and think. She has gotten some great deals on designer purses there.

I've found that once you find the handle a great way to stop the seat from going forward is to let it smack you in the head. It's a good thing I'm not a professional football player. I would have been sidelined many times for getting hit in the head!

Quote from gooseman

seems like a very nice way to do this - dont even have to bend down to release the seat back, probably much more convenient than a lever that's only been extended

No more getting hit in the head and knocking off the glasses. And easy and cheap to do. Made the little bracket from scrap aluminum and a hack saw and file. Painted black and used a self tapping screw in the end of the leaver to attach the webbing
